By the 1960s, the nation had achieved a postwar miracle, soaring to become the world’s second largest economy. Thriving tech exports sent The Rising Sun over the moon. Its pocket cassette players, bleeping video games, and gleaming cars boomed worldwide, wooing pleasure points and pumping Japanese pockets full of yen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapan’s financial buoyancy also permeated its popular culture, birthing an audio analog called City Pop. This new sound arose in the mid-70s and ruled through the 80s, channeling the country’s contemporary psyche. It was sophisticated music mirroring Japan’s punch-drunk prosperity. City Pop epitomized the era, providing a soundtrack for emerging urbanites. An optimistic spirit buzzed through the music in neon-bathed, gauzy tableaus coated with groove-heavy strokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePacific Breeze\u003c\/em\u003e is an expertly compiled collection of choice cuts that range from silky smooth grooves to innovative techno pop bangers and everything in between. Long-revered by crate diggers and adventurous music heads, this music has never been released outside of Japan until now. Including key artists like Taeko Ohnuki and Minako Yoshida, as well as cult favorites Hitomi Tohyama and Hiroshi Sato, the long-awaited release also features a newly commissioned cover painting by Tokyo-based artist Hiroshi Nagai, whose iconic images of resort living have graced the covers of many classic City Pop albums of the 1980s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of the key City Pop players evolved from the Japanese New Music scene of the early 70s, as heard on Light In The Attic’s acclaimed \u003cem\u003eEven a Tree Can Shed Tears: Japanese Folk \u0026amp; Rock 1969-1973\u003c\/em\u003e, the first release of the ongoing Japan Archival Series. In fact, you could say City Pop set sail with a champagne smash from Happy End, the freakishly talented subversives who included amongst their ranks Haruomi Hosono and Shigeru Suzuki, both featured on this compilation. As Michael K. Bourdaghs noted in his book, \u003cem\u003eSayonara Amerika, Sayonara Nippon\u003c\/em\u003e, this music was, “Deconstructing the line between imitation and authenticity.” Some of the best City Pop teeters in this zone—easy listening with mutant exotica, tilted techno-pop, and steamy boogie bubbling beneath the gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover art by famed artist Hiroshi Nagai\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtensive liner notes and bios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompiled by Andy Cabic (Vetiver), Zach Cowie (DJ \u0026amp; music supervisor) and Mark “Frosty” McNeill (dublab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2xLP housed in a deluxe wide spine jacket with over sized fold-out booklet, full color printed inner sleeves, and custom die-cut obi card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCD in a UV coated Digipak with oversized fold-out booklet and custom die-cut obi card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered audio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital mockups are not an exact representation of the color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]LITA 163[[Artist]]V\/A - Pacific Breeze\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light in the Attic","offers":[{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Red\/Blue\/Yellow Split","offer_id":32374424764495,"sku":"LITA163LP-1","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Summer Fun","offer_id":32535019814991,"sku":"LITA163-1-1.2","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Cassette \/ Cassette","offer_id":32374424633423,"sku":"LITA163-8","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Summer of Fun","offer_id":43348173258997,"sku":"LITA163-1-1","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Beach Ball","offer_id":43348173357301,"sku":"LITA163-1-4","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Black","offer_id":32374424797263,"sku":"LITA163-1","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Pink","offer_id":32535028858959,"sku":"LITA163-1-2.2","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Cassette \/ Cassette Tape","offer_id":43348173488373,"sku":"LITA163-9","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ CD \/ CD","offer_id":43348173652213,"sku":"LITA163-2","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pacific Breeze: Japanese City Pop, AOR \u0026 Boogie 1976-1986 \/ Vinyl \/ 2LP Blue","offer_id":43589025530101,"sku":"LITA163-1-5","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/products\/large_550_tmp_2F1548958036956-h1jtoij0pd7-065adccee812e0f27d47a0492a00122b_2Flita163_cvrs-1.jpg?v=1634288016"},{"product_id":"hot-sand","title":"Hot Sand","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Artist]]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Piper","offers":[{"title":"Hot Sand \/ Piper - MP3\/320 \/ album \/ MP3\/320","offer_id":43205056332021,"sku":"207R\/MP3","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Sand \/ Piper - FLAC \/ album \/ FLAC","offer_id":43205056364789,"sku":"207R\/FLAC","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Sand \/ Piper - WAV \/ album \/ WAV","offer_id":43205056397557,"sku":"207R\/WAV","price":1.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Sand \/ track \/ MP3\/320","offer_id":43205056430325,"sku":"2344T\/MP3","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Sand \/ track \/ FLAC","offer_id":43205056463093,"sku":"2344T\/FLAC","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hot Sand \/ track \/ WAV","offer_id":43205056495861,"sku":"2344T\/WAV","price":1.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/products\/image_f2efa16a-6c87-49f4-ad62-abb18f20b9bb.jpg?v=1662569307"},{"product_id":"grey-skies","title":"Grey Skies","description":"[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaeko Ohnuki's landmark debut album, Grey Skies, is reissued on pure color vinyl!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e(Originally released on September 25, 1976)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the breakup of Sugar Babe, Taeko Ohnuki signed as a solo artist with Crown Records.

This release captures the legendary two-day concert held at Nippon Budokan on March 10 and 11, 1981, the very day and the day after the release of Masayoshi Takanaka’s masterpiece \"The Rainbow Goblins.\" The first part recreates on stage the concept album \"The Rainbow Goblins,\" which Takanaka created based on the inspiration he drew from Italian painter Ul de Rico’s picture book \"The Rainbow Goblins,\" while the second part is made up of Masayoshi Takanaka’s hit songs.

Combined with what was then a state-of-the-art laser show and a mountain-like stack of equipment onstage, it created a fantastical world. The seven musicians appeared wearing costumes in different goblin image colors, while Takanaka, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit with rainbow-colored hair, played a rainbow-colored Yamaha SG. The world of \"The Rainbow Goblins\" that Masayoshi Takanaka, already at the peak of his popularity as one of Japan’s leading guitarists, brought to life onstage returns now, on its 45th anniversary, with vivid sound. The analog edition consists of three LPs in clear lime yellow, clear red, and clear blue, evoking both the three primary colors of light and the colors of the rainbow Yamaha SG Takanaka played in the first part of the concert. It also comes with a booklet packed with photographs capturing this fantastical stage production created with the latest technology of the time. Mastering and analog cutting were handled by Alex Wharton at Abbey Road Studios London.
